That other boy must be really strong putting that hard of snow together

Right. Nowadays we only have ff and chromium forks, some really tiny browsers that only render HTML/XHTML 4, and two huge unoptimized & unfinished pieces of software that render ok for some sites and really really wrong on others.

Actually, webpages that mention it get blocked from what I’ve heard. But there’s no way to know if a videogame chat will have it (especially if TLS/SSL is used), so it wouldn’t happen there.

Eastern orthodox Christianity pretty sure but Catholicism is a separate thing here from what people usually refer to as “Christianity”

Ukrainian here, but should apply to other eastern european countries. It’s all Christian but all sideways sorta. Christmas is after New Years for most people (well “most” is like half), but people don’t care as much since new years exists and is when presents are given. Advent calendars are usually, in fact, 30 day. Made in China of course.

This post is the second ever reference to advent candles I can recall having in my entire life. The first one was a YouTube short I saw portraying German stereotypes.

Oh, see, unlike on x86 where you have the ACPI to detect hardware with minimal device quirks (still a lot of them), everything else doesn’t have that. Well, except some Qualcomm chips, but their implementation sucks and basically only works reasonably with Windows and Windows Phone. So you need a device tree blob (DTB) to tell the kernel where everything is. But enabling all of the drivers in a single kernel build makes it not fit (the partition for that is traditionally quite tight), so you make different kernels per device.

AND, on Android in particular, lots of features need device specific configuration for all of the small stuff like the proximity sensor and the cameras (a LOT more complex than webcams). This + the need for OEMs to insert their own spyware and the already existing tradition at the time to make device specific images made the decision stick around. There’s GSI, which basically forces the OEM to write drivers and all of that with a stable-ish API to make universal images possible, but it results in a system with lots of tiny inexplicable problems that slowly make you loose your sanity in my experience.

How postmarketOS handles it is that there are basically meta packages per device that depend on the kernel package appropriate to the device (sometimes for a whole platform or SoC, having multiple DTBs inside for each device) that flashes itself to the appropriate partition via a post installation hook, as well as all of the config files for apps that need device specific stuff and don’t already have it upstream (like camera apps).

I use MUSL/Linux on a tablet btw
